So this is my B210.
I've owned three 510's and loved them, but my B210 has a special place in my heart. I think the car is beautiful, very alfa-esque in design, and I want to see "the turd" (that's her name) get some of the attention she deserves. Everything has been done to the roadster, 510, and Z. I can appreciate the work that goes into these cars, but it's the rare 1200, 610, 411, or 710 that really catch my eye. Something different. Why do other Datsun people hate the B210?

buddy.

all datsun have a special place in the heart. for me they all mean good engineering. but i think b210 is not the best of the range. personnaly b310's & 510 are more attractive. i'm attracted more to sedans and pickups more than hatchbacks.

I have to say no to datsunsunny...i love b210...although i prefer the 2 door sedan model...like mine!!! hehe...b210 i think has a great dash and better brakes, stabilizer bar...etc...b210 is a great car to upgrade...without a doubt...

I've never heard such an outrage. Somebody not liking the B210 aka 120Y. Next thing you know somebody will be saying that 4'n'20 pies and vegemite aren't Australian made anymore...

The 120Y although not my most favorite car, it is my weapon of choice. Severely underestimated. Granny's and grandpa's the world over have know this for years. I love the VB210 panelvans. Very thin on the ground so it's not like the population of 1200 utes, coupes, 510 sedans etc that you see on an almost daily basis. (not so much any more)

The 'turd' has a nice look to it. What you need is a set of Aussie bumpers to top it off.

I personally don't love the 210's in there stock form (and I just don't like the 4 doors at all), but I have seen some absolutely awesome dun up ones and I love the PB210's. Regardless they are Datsun so they have my love...

I love the B210, just got a GX recently. I have owned 8 Zs(5 240s, 2 280s and a ZX), 2 521s, 1 65' unibody truck, and a 1200 coupe. The B210 GX is one of my favorites yet. The car handles great, has good Hp, 5-speed, great fuel economy, disc in the front. Its like the utilitarian Z, still has the smooth lines of the fastback/coupe. I think all US B210s need bumper revision. Safety standards totally destroyed the classic Datsun style( isn't there a thread about the specifics to propery convert?)Don't get me wrong, I love my 1200, but I carry my double bass in the B210.

As if those US&A spec bumpers could save you from a pissed redneck in his twincab C30 Chev truck. A B210 would be more like a speed bump or a wheel chok. YEE HAR

I allways wanted a 1600 for a fist car when i was a kid but never got the chance to own one ive always loved the 1200 shape as well but the was somthing about my b210 that made me want it as soon as saw it im glad i have it now too being somthing different

I've always really liked the hatchback
B210s,& believe it or not,I've gotten
almost fond of the big bumpers.
Most people tell me that they didn't
know that there were any left - & I've
got 2 of them.

have u got an image of these "big bumpers"
and guys if i offended somenone by saying that the b210's are not the best in range. im sorry

but they didn't make a great success here in malta and we don't see them that much attractive. we preffer 510's
